Jerry Kemit Challenged to Play a Psychopath in 'CREEPY VALENTINE: BLACK DINNER'

Kapanlagi.com - Actor Jerry Kemit is back in the Indonesian entertainment industry. The actor, born on January 22, 1993, appears in a romantic and horror-thriller series titled CREEPY VALENTINE: BLACK DINNER which is aired on Vision +.

Playing as Andres, a psychopath, Jerry Kemit feels challenged. He has a different approach when delving into the character of Andres. Unlike most actors who watch many films to use as a reference for their roles, Jerry Kemit prefers to watch video interviews with a psychopath.

"This is a challenge for me. If in terms of appearance, my face looks scary, but I actually prefer roles that are more emotional, romantic drama," said Jerry Kemit when met in the Cibubur area, Depok, not long ago.

"My approach to this role can also be said to be somewhat extreme. I watch documentaries or interviews with a doctor with someone who has announced that they are a psychopath," he continued.

Furthermore, Jerry Kemit shared his experience of filming this series. He and the other actors, director, and crew had to stay up for two days.

"This was filmed in Jakarta and Puncak. We were asked to retake some scenes, so we had to film in two places, Jakarta and Puncak. We didn't sleep for two days, but it's okay, we just went for it," said Jerry Kemit.

After a three-year hiatus, Jerry Kemit admitted to being surprised by the development in the entertainment industry. Unlike before where he had to bring a CV to get a role, now social media has become one of the benchmarks for casting and getting roles.

"Honestly, I was surprised by the changes in the entertainment industry now. In the past, we came with a CV, but now social media like Instagram is also seen in terms of its traffic. Whether we like it or not, we have to be more active on social media now," he explained.
